Glimpses - 1903 - The larger group of Jewish pioneers came a more roundabout way, from South Africa. This was a group of 7 who disembarked at Mombasa in July 1903. They were young men from Central European farming backgrounds who, having got wind of the 'Uganda Plan', came to take up farming in Kenya. A couple did not like what they saw, turned around and left. But 5 stalwarts stayed: Abraham Block (aged 20), I. Hotz, M.W. London, Simon Medicks and W. Sulsky.
